The facility will be Lineage’s first fully automated development in North America and is designed to support maximum flexibility and responsiveness. Implementing a process called Dynamic Profiling, Lineage will have the ability to adapt to a wide range of customer needs in Sunnyvale over time. The facility’s Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems technology will move product seamlessly through a nine-level, 100-foot ceiling location, while the significant corresponding increase in storage density will greatly reduce energy consumption.
The expanded facility, located at 367 Long Creek Road, will add approximately 94,000 new square footage to the existing 311,885 square foot location and have the ability to house roughly 24,000 additional pallet positions. When completed, Lineage estimates that nearly 30 new jobs will be created from the local workforce to support operations.
“I would like to thank our partners within the City of Sunnyvale for their significant support in bringing this project to life,” Added Lehmkuhl. “From Mayor Phaup’s office, to the Departments of Engineering, Economic Development and others, we have had a true partner throughout the development and approval process, and they were instrumental in bringing these innovations and jobs to the local economy.”
The facility is currently under construction and is expected to begin full operation in 2019.
